If you're Dutch or living in Holland, you'd probably know already that this is going to be the last Queen's day. So to celebrate it I'm planning to party on Queen's night and look at flea markets on the day self.

Sooo what am I going to wear? The tradition is to wear something orange. So I pulled all my 'orange' clothes out of my closet and came up with a few outfits.. What do you think? I don't know what to wear yet! You probably see on photos later what I chose.

If you're celebrating queens day as well.. Have fun!

And other people should just party as well :P

Personal | Find treasures or trash?

Sorry it's not a fashion post..again! But it could be a great spot for an ootd shoot though! Some friends of church and I went to clean up the woods that is surrounded by the church. We found a lot of trash and weird stuff.. But found cool places to shoot as well! I think woods are the perfect place for a nice background, it tells a story.. Look at that weird pose on the last photo. The awkward pose looks actually cool because of the background xD.

Personal | Learning from Socrates

"He who knows how to achieve happiness will do so. Therefore, he who knows what is right will do right. Because why would anybody choose to be unhappy?"

This is one of my favorite quotes of Sophie's World so far.. I'm currently on page 90 and still have lots to read/learn. But I'm taking it slow, to be able to dissect every written sentence in it. So far I'm liking it. 

This quote by Socrates made me really think and actually understand on what 'being happy' means. If you speak ill of others, often lie and cheat, and you know deep down that you're wrong.. Could you ever achieve happiness? Is knowing that you're doing wrong worth of losing even a tiny bit of happiness?

Haul: Do something

Yesterday I headed out early to the city to enjoy the spring weather. We wanted to eat at Swags, as seen in the previous blogpost, but we were too early. So we went to the American Book Center to buy some books. I've been craving for books that will enrich my mind and knowledge. I opted for a classic novel but instead I bought a book that was recommended by a pastor of the church I go to and my brother, Sophie's world. It is a novel about the history of philosophy, so that's basically enrich-your-life-hardcore. A second book is The happiness project, it is about a take on life to find happiness. I think it's time for me to explore the kind of person I want to be because I'm turning 21 next month. I often feel that I don't enjoy my life to the fullest and that I'm stuck with a beta-version of myself. I'm hoping for change. After that I went to buy necklaces at Pull and Bear, which will be perfect for spring and to brighten up my outfit. The last purchase I've done is a lightweight pants with cute flowers/birds on it. I think that the pants looked chic and expensive but since it was on sale I bought it for 10 euros at H&M.

I hope that these books will inspire my life and that the necklaces my outfits!

Have a good monday~
